My favourite all around bike…. Mid 80s Miele Aries 500

(since this picture have added a nice Brooks B17 Standard which is way more comfy)

Some red:

1985 Peugeot Canyon Express

How about reddish pink? Or pinkish red? Or something that is halfway between pink and red?


1994 Norco Nitro

In the sun...


Oops, looks like I posted these same two bikes last year. Merziac determined it was a dusty pink so it does indeed belong in this thread.... Sorry for the repetition!

All pinkish, reddish, closeish colors are welcome.

Merz JM027 is a good example, darkish pink, lightish purple?

You decide.

I'm still digital camera free so no pics. Went for a Super Bowl ride on my 1st TiCycles - fire engine red except the stays. Other TiCycles is bare ti but the same red on the (steel) fork. (The bike that inspired the second got painted red at the same time as the first TiCycles.. I'd wanted a red bike a long time.)

If anyone getting their bike Gugified wants to take photos of my bikes, just holler! I live a mile from him.

My daughter on the Free Spirit that we rebuilt for her, ca. 1986. Color mixed from Rust Oleum red and white, per her choice, and sprayed on. We did fit it with a pair of Tourney sidepulls; you can tell I loved her, good brakes. She loved that bike and rode it until she had seriously outgrown it.

My Tesch S-22 with 11-speed Campy Record/S.Record. A blast to ride.





Quattro Assi with 10-speed Dura-Ace 7800 (prismatic flip-flop pink to purple paint) more pink than purple in this photo.

Well, a couple new ones moved into the house this year that I guess fit this theme.

First is this "early to the game" carbon fiber beauty. A C4 Air One:


European made and rocking some nice Campagnolo bits.

Then there's the Olmo Forma that Olmo confirmed as a team bike. A bit rough comsetically but seems sound. Waiting for clean spring roads to give it a first test ride.


This is sporting the proper Campagnolo groupset on it.

Still have not gotten through to Oscar to see if this really was his training bike.

And I believe a year or two ago I posted about wanting to find another Raleigh Team USA. Well, I did and built it up with Superbe parts.
